Move over San Francisco Giants, you are no longer the only Division Champion in the Bay Area.

On Wednesday, the final game of the season, the Oakland Athletics clinched the American League West.

A's Beat the Rangers for ALW Title

It wasn't even close. The A's beat the Rangers 12-5 in front of a sell-out crowd at the Coliseum.

The game ended when Grant Balfour retired Michael Young on a fly to center. The team poured out of the dugout and raced to the mound for a well-deserved group hug. The players quickly followed that celebration with a parade around the stadium to share the moment with the fans.

A's Headed to Playoffs

The win means the A's won't even have to bother with a play-in game Friday among Wild Card teams.

Instead they will begin the playoffs this weekend on the road. The A's will head to Detroit for Game No. 1 on Saturday.
